Vodafone Ghana Careers

Vodafone has invited ExplainerDC to make a proposal for the extension of the careers section on the Vodafone website, providing the HR department with
tools to efficiently manage the process of attracting quality applicants through the website, evaluating applicants, and matching them to open
positions. The site assists in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the HR function in Vodafone.

The main functionality of the careers section is a structured workflow. Visitors are able to register an account and place a CV. Each CV is
identified with the email address of the jobseeker, ensuring that a jobseeker can only place one CV. A password linked to the email address is
sent to the jobseeker by email. With the email address and password the jobseeker can post a CV, consisting of answers to a limited number of
fixed-format questions, as well as a free-form CV and short presentation. Registered users with a completed CV can apply for job openings online. To
do this they need to write an application letter for that particular position, and take a multiple choice aptitude test. After completing the
motivation and the aptitude test their CV is automatically linked to the application.

The HR person associated with a particular job opening can screen all applications from within the CMS. When an application is entered on the
website, then the HR person is notified by email that a new applicant is waiting for their approval. The HR person can then evaluate whether the
applicant qualifies for the position. When approval is given for a particular candidate, then this candidate is put into a carefully designed workflow.
